I think assisted suicide is a reasonable and much needed option. I haven't read Don's posts because I don't like to download everything, but I don't think people should be encouraged to exist no matter what. I feel I am just marking time trying to outlive my wonderful dog. I don't see any purpose to this kind of existence and no, I don't want an afterlife. If Spike was in my shape I'd put him down. I don't know why some think its not OK for pets to suffer, but OK for people The Terri Schaivo case is on TV right now and the busybodies in Congress are interfering as usual citing their great culture of "life" Boy if anyone DESERVED pain and suffering its them. If you can figure out how to successfully kill yourself these people can't hurt you anymore.
